Two Semis Collision and fire

 Accident involving at least two semis and several cars, and a big fire this last Thursday had me stuck on the freeway for over an hour and a half.   That is how long it took me to get from the 93, Andy Devine entrance ramp to the first exit at Stockton Hill Road where I got off and had smooth sailing the rest of the way home.  At first I didn't know what had happened and assumed it was construction.  However while stopped I explored Facebook and found news of the accident.  I guess the accident occurred around 6:30 p.m.  It was 9 p.m. when I hit the freeway and before 11 when I arrived at home.  The accident occurred just behind our residence.  If you continue down Prospector to the freeway that was the epicenter of the collision.  I could see lots of blue and red lights form emergency vehicles, as well as some lingering smoke.  I did not take any pictures but borrowed a couple to show the damage.  I read on Facebook that the accident involved two semis, with the driver of one passing away; but at Bashas' yesterday the clerk said it also involved cars, including one with a boat trailer.  She says she lives off of Airway close to the scene.
